Automatic Email subject

Good Morning,

I have created a varible in a report which displays as a text box i.e contains data like "LWD Apps 450" where the value will change each day. The report is emiled to a list of users, is there a way to automatically enter this value so that it is in the subject bar when the email is automatically sent?

Thanks in advance.

Steve

Hi Steve,

The entry form for subscriptions only allows for two variables (@.ReportName and @.ExecutionTime).

The only way I can think to modify the subscription on the fly would be to each day programmatically create a new subscription with a subject. Here's an msdn article with sample code:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.wssux.reportingserviceswebservice.rsmanagementservice2005.reportingservice2005.createsubscription.aspx

In the code, you would perform whatever operation you needed to get the same information that the RDL is getting. Then instead of this line:
extensionParams(4).Value = "@.ReportName was executed at @.ExecutionTime"
you would use this line:
extensionParams(4).Value = "LWD Apps " & variableThatIJustRetrieved

You would set the report to run once and the time to run right then (or a minute in the future). You would also want to delete the subscription after it has run, so that you would have a clean slate for tomorrow's run.

It's definitely kludgy though. Does anyone else have any thoughts?
